HFSS™ v11 offers even greater accuracy, capacity and performance. HFSS is widely used for designing RF/microwave components, onchip passives, PCB interconnects, antennas and IC packages. New higher-order, hierarchical basis combined with an iterative solver provides accurate fields, smaller meshes and efficient solutions for large multi-wavelength structures. Complex geometries solve 2 to 5× faster using half the memory with the new v11 fault tolerant, high quality finite element mesher. Continued user interface refinement and data linking enables co-design of complex electronic systems.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope its iterative solver is going to be even much faster than the one in CST MWS 2006B tetrahedral solver. As you might know, CST MWS 2006B iterative solver for its tetrahedral FD solver is very fast so that most of the time it doesn't make sense working with HFSS direct solver. Although not quite sure, it kinda looks like they have not implemented their domain decomposition method in HFSS V11.
I hope it will be officially released very soon.
